Questions

How many vinyl pressings of The Rolling Stones are there?

287 vinyl pressings of The Rolling Stones are listed here, from 33 countries, released between 1964 and 2024.

When was The Rolling Stones first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1964, in UK, US, France, Australia and more. One of them is Decca LK 4605, released April 1964.

How do I tell if my copy of The Rolling Stones is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use LK 4605, LL 3375, LL.3375DJ, LK 4.605) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, XARL-6271-2A and XARL-6272-1A. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is The Rolling Stones on vinyl worth?

It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
